St Peter's Hall - Restaurant

Home to its own brewery, St Peter's Hall is housed in a former monastery and one has the distinct feeling that the former occupants would have thoroughly approved. Whether they would have been quite so keen on the civil weddings that now take place here is arguable, but it is not everyone who can say they were married in a brewery (nor is it strictly true).

Steven Saunders in Newmarket

Steven Saunders in Newmarket is a deceptive high street oasis with decadent, modern design balanced by its simple, fresh and organic 'tapas style' menu.

Swan House

In the pleasant little town of Beccles lurks this gem, with strong artistic and cultural inclinations for your entertainment. However, the food provides the icing on the cake.

Terrace Restaurant at The Riverside Hotel

In the somewhat military surroundings of Mildenhall with the odd B52 passing overhead it comes as something of a relief to encounter this commanding 18th century red brick Georgian house, possibly the former residence of some local farmer grown to squirearchy on the fertile acres of Suffolk.

• Cuisine(s): British, French

Theobalds Restaurant

Located in a gorgeously romantic half-timbered building of 1650, Theobalds' long-established appointment to the culinary requirements of discerning people in Suffolk comes as no surprise. It says much for the delivery of a consistently high standard of excellent fare (to use that much-debased word in its proper context).
